reddit’s slowly catching on and noticing some gay subtext lol
Of course there are still comments saying that they're just friends, but this isn't so different from how Reddit reacted all the Dimidue bits in Three Houses.
Also, "we need more depictions of platonic male intimacy"? Male friendship is arguably the second-most commonly explored relationship dynamic in all of fiction after heterosexual romance, and I could name over a dozen male/male supports in both of these games with zero gay subtext and minimal support for pairing the characters in fanon. It's usually a sign of good gay subtext when you suddenly get straight guys celebrating platonic intimacy.

injury.
summary: what do they do when you get injured during a battle? (ft. Hilda, Annette, Ashe).
notes: 398 words, drabbles, angst, reader injury, mentions of blood
Hilda Valentine Goneril
You fall, and all Hilda can see is red.
Red, where it shouldn’t be. Blood everywhere, on your armor, your skin, the grass. Marianne running towards you, and Claude gripping Hilda’s arm, urging her to look away, to keep calm, because it wouldn’t help you if she lost it right here--
Hilda shakes him off, her grip on her axe tightening.
This is real, she reminds herself. This is war. People get hurt, and people die.
This is nothing like the strategy lessons back in Garreg Mach where she watched Claude maneuver pieces on a board against Lorenz. This is no training drill, where you would pop back up, complaining about your sore arms.
No, this is real, and Hilda would simply have to slaughter every person on the field who dared to raise a finger against you.
Annette Dominic
Annette’s hands shake as she presses a rag to your side.
“You’re going to be okay,” she whispers, trying to smile. “You’re going to be okay.”
It’s a promise, a prayer: as long as she keeps saying it, it’ll be true. It has to be. Because you have a future together, so many things you haven’t done yet. She has a ring she has yet to slip on your finger. There’s a festival in Faerghus she’s been wanting to take you to, once the war is over.
Sweat beads your forehead as Annette tries to stem the flow of blood from your wound. The din of fighting rings around her, but it might as well be a million miles away.
The real war is here, as she begs you not to leave her.
Ashe Ubert
You’re by Ashe’s side when the spell hits you, and you crash into the ground like a broken bird.
The world goes on, regardless.
Dimitri shouts orders. Someone grips his shoulder, tells him Mercedes is on the other side of the field.
Ashe holds you in his arms. Is he strong enough to pick you up and carry you? Would he even make it? If only he had Sylvain’s cleverness, or Dimitri’s strength. If only he had noticed the enemy readying a spell in your direction and pushed you out of the way. If only...
No. There would be time for tears later. Right now, you need him.
He has already lost so much, and he will not lose you, too.

Three hopes giving Byleth full support ranks with the entire cast but making all of them outside the new options Shez and Dad completely silent is literally the funniest thing Fire Emblem has ever done.

This happened on Sylvain's 30th birthday because I said so.
Also Sylvain is one of my favorite characters in this game and I don't think this blog was reflecting that. Well, now it is considering this is one of the most elaborate drawings I have finished in a very long while.

“It is said, with varying degrees of credibility, that the heir to Gautier and the second child of Goneril were instrumental in winning the War of Shadows. Their families’ histories of defending their respective lands manifested in them without preamble, without hesitation—so much so that they garnered for themselves one name:
The Guardians of the Border.”
- as-of-yet unposted excerpt from Princes of Silver and Gold
I commissioned this from the lovely @/Green_leaves23 on Twitter, set within my DimiClaude fic, “Princes of Silver and Gold,” specifically in the later chapters. It’s not quite spoilery (good guys win the war, how novel of me), but it’s definitely an indication of where this fic is going. But also: they’re different flavours of making people underestimate them and I like it when they go apeshit.
